Serving Ilfracombe and the Braunton / Barnstaple area via the A361. Free written quotes, no pressure.
Why Ilfracombe homes choose timber
Ilfracombe sits in EX34, roughly 44 miles from our Cranbrook workshop along the A361. We fit timber windows across the town and the Braunton, Barnstaple, Northam corridor, working mostly with homeowners on newer estates whose first-generation frames are starting to date.
Most Ilfracombe timber windows enquiries we get involve cliffside guesthouse frames eroded by atlantic weather. That's bread-and-butter for us, and being a short hop down the A361 from Barnstaple means quick visits and tidy turnarounds.
Ilfracombe is a coastal town in Devon, and the timber windows that works here is rarely the same as the next town over. We tailor every job around homeowners on newer estates whose first-generation frames are starting to date, with North Devon Council planning expectations factored in from the first visit.
Coverage from this quote radius reaches Braunton (7 mi south), Barnstaple (9 mi south), Northam (12 mi south), Bideford (14 mi south), Great Torrington (18 mi south), giving us efficient runs whenever we're already on-site in Ilfracombe.
A typical run to Ilfracombe threads Braunton → Barnstaple → Northam → Bideford, so if you're on one of those routes we can often combine visits and price accordingly.
